Glee just gets better and better. In Wheels the students are challenged to explore what it is like to live with a disability. They start with Artie and what it is like to be in a wheel chair and then they sneak in some bigger questions and points. Imagine what Sue might have to say about the subject.

I really have to give them credit for how they handled people with down syndrome. Having a niece with down syndrom I tend to get defensive and protective whenever the subject gets brought. They did such a good job I was brought almost to tears, kudos!

DVD Releases: October 6, 2009

October 6, 2009 in Movies, tv/series by Brian Logee

Out this week we have three DVDs to feature: The Guild: Seasons 1 & 2, Year One, and Red Dwarf: Back to Earth.

The Guild: Seasons 1 & 2: The Guild is hilarious, geeky, fun! Fans of RPG’s and MMORPG’s will love this show. I first got into it because Felicia Day rules and am not let down. The guilds actual release was on September 29th but I did not want to miss this one. A great example of an independent production The Guild is a must own. Watch a music video “Date My Avatar” from the Guild to get an idea of how funny this show is.

Year One: Banished from their primitive village after the tribe elders deem them too lazy, Zed and Oh embark upon an adventure-filled journey through the ancient world. Being a Jack Black movie sparked my interest in Year One. The trailers looked funny and now I can rent it. If you have watched Year One let me know what you think about it.

- Exploring Year One

Red Dwarf: Back to Earth: I love Red Dwarf. I started watching it on PBS as a child and have really enjoyed watching it now on DVD. For those just getting into Red Dwarf you should really start back at the beginning since the impact and probably several jokes will be lost like Lister getting to finally go back to earth to get his Island home on Fiji. I haven’t watched Back to Earth but eagerly await to rent it.

The Guild: Expansion Time

September 4, 2009 in tv/series by Eric

The Guild season 3 is here! The show is as good as always, but the distribution is not so good.

Distribution Issues

The Guild is now distributed via the Xbox Live store and MSN Video site. They did this for season 2 also.

My problem with both means is that they do not offer the ability to subscribe to the series, so fans have to check back often to see if a new episode is out. I wish the process was easier. Hopefully, Microsoft is working on this problem.

Expansion Time

This is a great episode! It sets up a rivalry between our favorite Guild and a group of evil line cutters. Since I haven’t seen a lot of publicity about it, and the surprise made me jump out of my chair shouting, “Yes!” So I will not spoil it for you. Let me just say, I cannot wait to see the rest of the season.

If you need to catch up with the series, you can watch seasons 1 and 2 at Watch the Guild.com.

Date my Avatar

August 26, 2009 in Music, tv/series by Eric

I know a lot of people have seens this already, but since I have been out of it, I thought I just had to post it to the site. This is why I love Felicia Day and the Guild!

Would you pay for a Boxee app?

[Avner] Ronen says that the company still has yet to collect any revenue for use of its media center software, but that it’s working on a way to allow content owners to charge for the Boxee Apps that they create (Contentinople).

This begs the question: Would you pay for a Boxee App? I might but there are a few ground rules that would have to be established:

Rules for Paid Apps

Paid App channels would have to be commercial free.
Paid App channels must have a free version to test the content.
Apps must be cheap! The more they cost, the fewer people will pay.
Apps should be available for networks and individual shows.

Reasons I would pay for an app

Premium Channels: HBO and Showtime are top of my list.
Foreign Content: BBC iPlayer is top on my list, but I have a soft spot for Chinese and Indian TV.
Supporting Indie Media: I would pay to support the Guild, Legend of Neil and other shows, but I would expect extras.

How I hope this works

I have hoped for a long time that Apple would open its platform to allow more options. So far they haven’t. I think Media should have a tiered support system:

Free: Ad supported, let me check it out
Tiny Fee: Watch commercial Free
Small Fee: Own outright (The content is downloaded to my device)
Modest Fee: Own outright with special features

I want to be able to watch any show and upgrade my content as I see fit.

Did I miss anything?

What would make you want to pay for a Boxee App? What rules do you have? What model would you like to see?
